Syntax

Oddlyield <Basis> (Settlement, Maturity, LastInterest, CouponRate, Price, Redemption, Frequency)

Where:

Settlement is the settlement date. This is the date, after issue, on which the security is traded.

Maturity is the maturity date. This is the date on which the security expires.

LastInterest is the security’s last coupon date.

CouponRate is the interest rate.

Price is the price.

Redemption is the redemption value per $100 of face value.

Frequency is the number of payments per year. The valid values are 1, 2, and 4 where annual payments =1, semiannual payments =2, and quarterly payments =4.

Basis is a parameter that indicates the time-count basis to be used. The default value for Basis is 0, which is typically used by American agencies and assumes 30-day months and 360-day years (30/360). Possible values for this parameter are listed in the following table.
